graph. The arrow’s position, whether pointing upward or
downward, indicates either an increase or a decrease in the
downstream fluid resistance.

MIN resolution
Note:
MAX is the default setting. MIN displays more data points
compressed along the horizontal axis for a representation of a long-
term trend. MAX displays less data points in the same area for a
short-term trend.
Resistance Factor (RF):
Note:
This feature needs to be activated by the Biomedical
Technician.
The Resistance Factor is a numeric value displayed and updated
during an infusion. "RF =" appears on either the Hold or Run Screen
when activated. The numerical value of RF appears after the words
"Site Trend" when the graph is displayed. Increasing RF values may
alert the clinician to a possible occlusion state due to kinks, clogged
filters, viscous fluids or infiltrations.
